LONDON, August 16.-The Daily
Mars, referring TO the Northwich cleo
ton, says: Seldom has any Govern
ment year after its formation metwith
such an emphatic rebuff. A remnant
or simulacrum Of dissident, the party
still fits about the lobbies and benches
of the House of Commons, bat in the
constituencies il 10 not to be seen.
The Morning Post is depressed over
the result. and urges the Conservatives
TO effect better organization. 1t re-
fuses to believe that the country is
changing its mind in regard to home
rule.
The Daily Telegraph says: The
Unionist converts have become per-
verts, and the Abstendonists have re-
turned to their Gledstonean allegiance.
The paper attributes the resultin North
wich to tho weakness OF the Unionist
candidate and the campaign, and begs
the Unionist leaders to abandon the
belief that it is sufficient to send q can
didste to n district with their blessing
to secure victory.
The Standard thinks there is evil
dence that the Irish question is no
longer SO powerful lever, providing
that the minds of Unionist electors are
becoming lulled TO condition OF false
security. The Northwich election, the
Standard adds, shows Enthusiastically
that the battle for the Union has yet to
he fought.
The Times says: The Government
make fatal mistake il they see in the
re cent elections any reason for slacken-
ing their efforts to cope etfectually
with the forces of disorder in Ireland.

aud walked home unmOlested. Sheriff
v ightmsn wss at his home, in Elm
burg, five miles away, and Deputy
Sheriff Hotel was also absent. Ia the
meantime DIR. }. s. Irwin, the Senator's
physician. informed Judge Newman
that Senator Riddleberger's condition
was such that further confinement was
dangerous.
The Judge appointed Drs. J. S.
Irwin and j. l.. Campbell to inquire
into and certify to his condition. After
the Senator had gone home these ply
sicians certified to the fact that the
further confinement Of Senator Rid
dleberger wonld be dangerous, as from
their knowledge he wa. an intense suf-
ferer from hemorrhoids, and the con-
dition of his nervous system was such
as TO render release from confinement
necessary.
Judge Newman then issued al order
to the jailer to release Senator Riddle
berger until such time as such physi-
clans as may be selected by the Court
shall certify that he is in tit condition
TO be returned to Jail. This order has
given temporary relief to the intense
nervous strain upon the community,
which has caused the good people OF
all shades of political beliefs to cling
together in their efforts to preserve the
peace at all hazards.

of Peter Hsrvell and the burning Of
his dwelling in Smyth county, the par
,iculars Of which were heretofore tele-
orapbed You, was begun in Marion on
Monday before Judge Richardson, Of
the County Court.
After the arraignment OF the parties
OIL two counts the counsel for the de-
fence moved for postponement on
the ground that they were not ready
for trial and asked for bail for the phi
soners. The Court continued the cases
till the next term and admitted all Of
the parties to bail in the sum of 81, 900
except Major w. r. B. Horne, the
leader Of the outrage, to whom bail in
any amount was refused.
None of the parties could give proper
security and oil were remanded to jail.
"Major" Horne. as he is locally
known, the principal actor in both
crimes, is q wealthy man with considera-
bic influence in the community in
which he lives. The majority OF the
other parties implicated are young men
in poor circumstances. Great interest
and no little excitement were manifest
ed during the proceedings.

At noon Commissioner Fowler received
the documents ordering the transfer
and Mr. Betbune arose, saying he was
ready to give Tom over to tho custody
o. the Court, asking also that he be
given something to show that he had

Marshal Scott thereupon intimated
that bis document ordered Tom to be

Mr.. Bethune concluding to turn Tom

WILLIAMSBURG, Va, Aug. 16, 1897.
In unusually large crowd for York
County Court met at Yorktown yester-
day, The occasion being the regular
monthly term. But little court bust
ness was transacted, however, politics
and the approaching Republican Lee
eislative District Convention engaging
the attention of most Of the sovereigns.
The colored element largely predomi-
mated. A personal difficulty occurred
between James w. Edloe and Sam
Harris, two prominent colored leaders,
during which several blows were passed.
Bystanders intcifered and the parties
were separated. Both OF the bellige-
rents were from Misplace. This morn
ing the difficulty was renewed, and the
parties were brought before TIE mayor,
WHO bound Edloe over to keep the
neace for Fix months under bond OF
500, with DR.. Wise as security. The
waIrant against Harris was dismissed.
The colored population seemed much
interested in the case, as quite a num-
her of them were present during the
trial.
W. ". Vest and daughter, who are
travelling in Europe, were heard from
last week at Edinburgh.
